    Easter came early, but I suppose that's exactly what an emissary for the Chaos Bringer is supposed to do.

    Very strong Wave 1 Voyager class offerings (and Wave 2 judging from general consensus). Siege and Earthrise had some sticking points I found, especially with Megatron's engineering problems like inconsistent ankles or Snapdragon's limited elbows, so I'm glad Kingdom's handling voyagers well (despite small issues here and there).

    It is funny that these two have widespread issues with their knees, the part of the hinge that goes into Cyclonus' shin needed to be ever so slightly tighter (compared to Primal maybe needing to loosen his depending on your copy). Good thing these two have screws down there.

    "They expect us to WHAT?!"

    Shame we never got a single-barreled humanoid Battle Master with a centered barrel, though.

    Edit: A few more shots for your viewing pleasure.

    Optimus Primal is well articulated in beast mode, Cheetor looks acceptable, Vertebreak can at least walk/run, Airazor has a great poseability, and Megs is awesome.
    Only Rattrap is a brick with legs. Dinobot is just a little better than Mickey Mousetrap, but i guess i can ignore that as i can ignore his derp-looking dino face and his plantigrade dino legs.
    What i CAN'T ignore is that my gf's uncle said "you're right, these dinosaur hands make him look gayer than me".
    Yes, her parents look like they came out straight from Modern Family.
    I guess i'm their Dylan.

    Ummm...not to burst your all hail beastformers bubble...but the SS86 Thread is also full of amazing dynamic poses created by lots of sensible fans & collectors. I definitely get that Kingdom Dinos & Animals can also make cool poses, and they are exciting & newish. But you pulled a single photo of SS86 Jazz standing in "A" frame from the SS86 Thread, and basically said hey look everyone...this photo summarizes the entire SS86 Thread, and the people that collect SS86 are boring, and SS86 attracts people who have less sensibilities than that of the people who collect beastformers from the Kingdom line.
    This is just a very small fraction of the awesomely dynamic SS86 Thread photos that you could of used...but didn't for obvious reasons. But I agree...It is definitely a stark difference.

    I thought they also figured out dinosaurs had feathers too. Or is my memory playing tricks? I just woke up ‍♂️

    Most of them had feathers, yes. I was reading about tyrannosaurs that day and it seems the adults were partially (or even completely) featherless, with a reptile-like skin. But we will know that for sure only when they will extract some DNA from the skeleton found by Mary Schweitzer in 2016 and clone a specimen.

    Dammit. That's amazing even for me, and i can't watch Dumbo, not even if threatned with a rifle.

    Different dinosaurs did. T-Rex either didn't have them or they had them when they were younger and grew out of them

    For me, I honestly think the SS86 figures look really good standing in a basic pose. They can easily pull off the dynamic posing the Kingdom line can do, but look really sharp in stoic stances.

    Some dinosaurs, but not all. Mostly the smaller species, anything less than an estimated 1000kg in weight roughly

    Sorry pal, DNA doesn't last that long, certainly not long enough to be useful

    Keeping on topic though, I should have Kingdom Megatron hopefully sometime this coming week. Really looking forward to him. He's definitely my most anticipated figure from what we've seen of this line so far

    If DNA doesn't last that long, where did they get the samples to make Kingdom Megs? Think about it before crushing my dreams again.

    Got dinobot, 3rd party needs to get on new dino hands for him ASAP these things suck, I would love a new dino head for articulation sake but honestly I would be cool with just new dino hands and eye beam effect.

    I'm with you, but if they make a full add-on set i wish they give us some new dino feet too. Otherwise, hands will be fine. I preordered a second copy only because i want to customize the hands of the first...

    For all the dynamic poses of the beast formers I only find myself in this thread for the characters that should have been in the SS86 thread to begin with. (Cyclonus)

    It is my opinion that the beast transformers -need- to be dynamically posed to distract from some ugly design choices. Most of the G1 designs can look heroic/menacing while just standing there. It is hard to say the same for Rattrap with his feet sticking out at the sides or for Dinobot with his dual raptor eye nipples.

    I agree as well, I also would love a new tail that's articulated like MP-41 (Kingdom Megatron spoiled me with an articulated expressive tail on a mainline figure lol)
